Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 10A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNFRSF10A gene.[1][2] also known as DR4 or TRAIL-R1 The protein encoded by this gene is a memb...
As skin ages, it becomes thinner and more easily damaged. Intensifying this effect is the decreasing ability of skin to heal itself as a person ages. Among other things, skin aging is noted by a...
Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins, macromolecules that are highly specific for sugar moieties. Lectins should neither be confused with glycoproteins (proteins containing sugar chains or res...
The first step is to find and isolate the gene that will be inserted into the genetically modified organism. Finding the right gene to insert usually draws on years of scientific research into the ...

A reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) is one designed at the outset for rapid change in its structure, as well as its hardware and software components, in order to quickly adjust its producti...
In molecular cloning, a vector is a DNA molecule used as a vehicle to artificially carry foreign genetic material into another cell, where it can be replicated and/or expressed. A vector containing...
Wound healing is an intricate process where the skin (or another organ-tissue) repairs itself after injury.[1] In normal skin, the epidermis (outermost layer) and dermis (inner or deeper layer) exi...
Neuregulins or neuroregulins are a family of four structurally related proteins that are part of the EGF family of proteins. These proteins have been shown to have diverse functions in the developm...
Uses a diaphragm and pressure cavity to create a variable capacitor to detect strain due to applied pressure. Common technologies use metal, ceramic, and silicon diaphragms. Generally, these techno...
Several members of the S-100 protein family are useful as markers for certain tumors and epidermal differentiation. It can be found in melanomas,[4] 100% of schwannomas, 100% of neurofibromas (weak...
In dermatology, hyperpigmentation is the darkening of an area of skin or nails caused by increased melanin. Hyperpigmentation can be caused by sun damage, inflammation, or other skin injuries, inc...
